On October 16th, Perry 6th graders had the opportunity to explore various career pathways through off-campus experiences based on their own interests during the annual Share Your Genius Day (SYGD). Pathways included transportation, performing arts, fine arts, healthcare, athletics, public safety, hair and fashion, manufacturing, and aviation. Yes, students actually went up in a plane and some even took the controls!
SYGD was named out of the belief that everyone has a “genius” and that every student should explore their interests and passions. Throughout the event, experts in each pathway shared their own genius with students to enable them to see their own potential outside of the classroom!
